FOND DU LAC FAMILY YMCA

2015 WINTER PROGRAM GUIDE | JANUARY THROUGH APRIL Registration for Members begins Tuesday, December 9, Community Participants begins Tuesday, December 16

The mission of the Fond du Lac Family YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. By upholding our core values of

Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility,

the Y is committed to strengthening our community through programs that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.


ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS Work and life shouldn’t be about surviving; they ought to be about enjoying. I want to remind everyone that we can’t afford to let life pass us by. It is the little things that happen every day that help us enjoy life, if we only slow down long enough to enjoy it. We all live in a fast moving world, with emails, text messages, Facebook and Twitter to name a few. Think about those little things that matter the most, things like going to a fitness class as a way to connect with friends who keep you smiling, or attending a yoga class to help release the stress in your life. What about the family that gets to walk into the Y on a Saturday morning with the excitement on their child’s face knowing that her dance class will start soon, or the warmth you feel in your heart when your child still wants to hold your hand. It is the little things that make lasting impressions. I love coming to the Y because everywhere I turn I see lasting impressions being made through the little things in life that we sometimes forget to cherish. Little things like celebrating someone’s birthday when they scan their card at the Welcome Center Desk, or the feeling of accomplishment when a young swimmer swims the entire length of the pool for the first time. Little things and miracles happen every day at the YMCA, I just hope we can slow down long enough to enjoy every part of it. Yours in Service, Greg Giles Executive Director/CEO

community through programs that nurture the full potential of our youth providing guidance and support to help them lead healthy and enriching lives. All youth in grades 1 to 12 with a full-paid YMCA membership receive a complimentary school-year membership to the Club, entitling the child to participate in the Club afterschool program (based on space availability), and on days off and half-days of school. A few of the other programs we have developed as a result of this revolutionary collaboration include Just Play, a free afterschool program that encourages youth to stay active by doing some sort of physical activity, Kidz Fit, a physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle program for children in third grade, Teen fitness classes, and monthly family night events.

As was evidenced by the key findings in the most recent County Health Priorities Survey, obesity remains a top concern in Fond du Lac County with 30% of residents being obese. The goal of the coalition is to increase the number of people in our county who are at a healthy weight for their height.
